A ketogenic carnivore diet, combined with leucine signaling, can provide precise and short-term mTOR activation with less carryover effect.

“basically what the study shows is that both leucine and insulin trigger mtor but you know what's a bigger trigger of mtor insulin so if you're not eating protein if you're following like david's recommendations and you're avoiding a lot of leucine you're going to be eating more carbohydrates you have to eat something right you can't just be eating all fat you know you're going to get a vegetarian diet you're going to get more carbohydrates you're going to trigger insulin i'm not afraid of insulin but i'm telling you according to the study and many studies like it insulin triggers mtor just as much if not more than leucine”

“if we're eating leucine so if we're eating you know protein in the absence of a bunch of insulin like we would get in a ketogenic state you know we're going to get a small bump in insulin postprandially uh if we're just eating a carnivore diet or in a ketogenic state but we're not going to get nearly as much insulin released postprandially we're going to get mostly a signal that's going to be leucine and we're going to get mtor triggered but it's going to be much less and it's going to be for a short amount of time”
